DESCRIPTION
The subject of Advanced Calculus of Structures is intended to complement the knowledge imparted in the basic subjects of calculation of structures, providing knowledge on structural dynamics and plate theory.
In order to do so, we aim to reinforce the theoretical basis of the student, introducing concepts related to seismology, to the operation of the simple harmonic oscillator of a degree of freedom in response to periodic, harmonic and arbitrary excitations, Duhamel integral , and the dynamic response of structures with Multiple degrees of freedom, applying the concepts of stiffness matrix, damping matrix, modal analysis and obtaining the maximum response using response spectra. The fundamental aspects of the NCSE-02 Seismic Resistant Construction Standard are introduced in the calculation of response spectra and seismic accelerations.
Finally, the student is introduced in the classical plate theory, and in the calculation of stress in different boundary conditions, as well as in the application of Fourier series developments to the plates calculation.
